Hello Everyone!

It's been a long time since you've heard from us. As is the case for everyone, this year has not been an easy one for our team, and several team members were quite busy with their personal lives, and because of that, Installer 5.1 took longer than we expected and wanted.
We are however very proud to announce that Installer 5.1 Public BETA is available for everyone today.



What is Installer 5.1?

Installer 5.1 is a complete redesign and a major backend rewrite, which included several new features and fixing a whole lot of bugs.
Nearly everything you see has been completely rethought and redesigned.
While designing, we asked for feedback from our users, and made changes based on their feedback.

Compatibility
Installer BETA currently supports iOS 13 and higher. Upcoming releases will add back support for iOS 12.

Known issues & Limitations (Read this carefully!)

High Importance: Installer will reset its database.
5.1 uses a new database which is incompatible with the database older versions of Installer used. A graceful migration is not possible, so Installer will reset its own database. This means that the sources you added in Installer will be reset (removed), as well as the followed developers. This has absolutely no implications on your jailbreak at all, it will NOT delete sources from other package managers, nor will it delete tweaks. You can always import your sources from other package managers.

Medium Importance: Package Backups are currently disabled. Repository backups do work.
We are reworking the backup system, and until this has been completed, the function has been disabled.

Low Importance: This is the first public beta release.
While we've spent a lot of time refining Installer and fixing all bugs we came across, bugs and crashes are to be expected. If you do find a bug or a crash, please report them on our GitHub issue tracker!

[Potentially solved] Low Importance: Local installation bug.
If you install a deb with version 1.1 locally (via SSH, Filza, etc) and then later uninstall it, Installer will still see the 1.1. version as being available, and will suggest an update for it, even though the version is not available on any repository. We are currently changing the way updates are detected to fix this.

Installer 5.1 private build 74 is now available for our patreon supporters.


This build introduces several new features, fixes several bugs and has multiple general improvements.

Changes in this release

New: Installer can now automatically check if you have any unused dependencies installed and offer to remove them for you.
This is a new feature designed to minimise device clutter, keeping unnecessary packages from causing any issues.

New: Adaptive darkmode. Installer will now automatically switch between light and dark mode based on the device’s settings. Note: This is an option under settings -> interface.

New: Autorespring. When you enable this option Installer will automatically respring after installation. This option also allows the user to set a delay between 0 (instant) and 10 seconds, in case the user wants the oppertunity to press the respring later button.

New: Double tap the tab button to go to the top of the view.

New: Users can now tap a packages ‘GET’ button a second time to remove the package from the queue.



Fixed: Crash when exiting wishlist

Fixed: Dark mode theme switch

Fixed: Properly display the close and respring buttons. Before they would sometimes appear at an incorrect time.

Fixed: Search bar properly aligned

Fixed: App no longer needs to be relaunched in order for all darkmode changes to take effect



Improvement: Top store label changed to a shorter one

Improvement: Made spacing for top store label smaller

Improvement: Added confirmation when logging out of AppTapp account

Improvement: Improved login button behaviour

Improvement: Image carousel UI and UX improved for small devices

Improvement: Subcategories are only built in case there are more than one subsection


Known bugs (3): For this release, we fixed all bugs which were reported and which we could reproduce. However since this is an early beta product, there could be unforseen bugs. If you find a bug, please report them to us via the Github project below.


Bug: Interface settings is duplicate. This will be fixed in the next release.

Bug: If you are removing a package that does not require a respring, and you have unneeded dependencies, the only button which will show is the 'remove unneeded dependencies' button.

Bug: If switching between light and dark mode, the Tab bar may retain the previous state, so you could have a dark style tab bar while the rest of the application is in light mode. Restart the app to fix.


Please remember we will only be able to respond to bug reports if the bug is filed on our Github Issue Tracker: AppTapp/Installer-Issues
